Subject: [PATCH] wwan: wwan_hwsim: Pin module for debugfs file operations
Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2026 20:07:53 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261008130753.313875-1-dungvn2345@gmail.com> (raw)
An open debugfs file retains its file_operations pointer in the
debugfs proxy state. However, wwan_hwsim_debugfs_portdestroy_fops,
wwan_hwsim_debugfs_portcreate_fops, wwan_hwsim_debugfs_devdestroy_fops,
and wwan_hwsim_debugfs_devcreate_fops in wwan_hwsim.c have no
.owner set to THIS_MODULE.
As a result, full_proxy_open_regular() calls fops_get() which succeeds
without taking a reference to the wwan_hwsim module. When a userspace
process opens any of these debugfs files, a subsequent module unload
(rmmod wwan_hwsim) can succeed while the file descriptor remains open.
When the userspace process subsequently closes the descriptor,
full_proxy_release() accesses the already unmapped file_operations
structure, triggering a kernel oops in full_proxy_release():
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffbfff84f90ef
Oops: 0000 [#2] SMP KASAN NOPTI
RIP: 0010:full_proxy_release+0x8e/0x140
Call Trace:

The issue was discovered via manual code audit of wwan_hwsim.c and
reproduced on a Linux 7.3-rc6 test VM with CONFIG_WWAN_HWSIM=m.
Set .owner = THIS_MODULE on all four debugfs file_operations structures
in wwan_hwsim.c so that debugfs pins the module until close has
completed.
